Customize one card or all cards

The fields for data only appear on the card if there is data in them. Select a card and click the “Edit” button to see what your current options are.

To add a field to one card, such as “Nickname,” first select that card. Then go to the Card menu, slide down to “Add Field,” and make a choice.

To add a field to every card, such as “Birthdate,” go to the Card menu. Choose “Edit Template….” Click the “Add Field” button and make your choice. You can also go straight to the Address Book preferences to do this (click the “Template” button in the preferences).
